Why Would the Government Cover Up Aliens?

StarTalk All-Star and SETI Institute Senior Astronomer Seth Shostak asks noted skeptic Ben Radford a big question on behalf of a StarTalk fan - Is the government hiding anything about aliens? Comedian Ray Ellin inquires about political candidates and their responses to aliens. (Note: this video was recorded before the 2016 election.) This conversation might help you get into the head of conspiracy theorists and their thoughts on extraterrestrial life!
